Work continuing in the SUBMARINER Network

This website is not updated any more after the closure of the SUBMARINER project (2010–2013). Our efforts to promote sustainable and innovative uses of marine resources are continuing under the umbrella of the SUBMARINER Network. Visit submariner-network.eu to learn more!

The Baltic Sea Region faces enormous challenges including growing transport, new installations, fishery declines, severe marine pollution, excessive nutrient input, and the effects of climate change. But novel technologies and growing knowledge also provide opportunities for new uses of marine ecosystems, which can be both commercially appealing and environmentally friendly. Macroalgae cultivation, blue biotechnology, innovative fish and mussel mariculture solutions, and wave energy are among such new possible uses.
